Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?

Chapter 120 National Day Ends



High-speed rail station.

People come and go, bustling and hustling.

Li Weijun and others bid farewell to Li Jing, carrying their luggage.

"Mom and Dad, be careful on the road. Don't miss your stop."

After sending his parents into the high-speed rail station, Li Jing noticed Ge Qin still standing nearby and couldn't help but joke, "What's up, can't bear to leave?"

"Yeah, of course, I can't bear to leave."

Ge Qin was much more natural in front of Li Jing now, speaking with a touch of mischief, tilting her head, "Aren't you going to try to persuade me to stay a bit?"

As she spoke, seeing Li Jing's calm gaze, a hint of disappointment flashed through Ge Qin's heart. She smiled before he could answer:

"Alright, alright, I know President Li is a busy person. I won't take up any more of your precious time. I'm leaving."

Finishing her words, Ge Qin smiled, pursed her lips, waved, and then quickly pulled her luggage to catch up with Li Xiaoxiao and the others ahead.

As she was about to enter the station entrance, Ge Qin couldn't help but look back, gazing in the direction she just came from.

She happened to see Li Jing getting into a Bentley and leaving without a pause.

Staring blankly at the distant silhouette of the Bentley, Ge Qin's heart felt inexplicably empty, a sensation of indescribable discomfort spreading from within.

"Sister Qin, come on, everyone's gone in."

Hearing Li Xiaoxiao's voice, Ge Qin's expression shifted slightly. Quickly, she turned back to grab her luggage and followed along.

Li Xiaoxiao noticed something seemed off with Ge Qin and stared at her for a while before exclaiming, "Sister Qin, why do I feel your eyes are a bit red? Didn't sleep well?"

"Ah, is it? Doesn't seem like it..."

Upon hearing this, Ge Qin was shocked, quickly rubbing her eyes and then explaining, "Maybe I really didn't sleep well."

"By the way, Sister Qin, where did you sleep last night? I fell asleep and didn't see you come back."

"I went to sleep late and didn't want to disturb you, so I slept in the same room with Sister Xinxin and the others."

"Could their room fit you?"

"They had a little bed on the side; I slept there."

"Oh..."

Whether Li Xiaoxiao believed it or not, Ge Qin didn't have the heart to explain further, just silently looking at the message Li Jing sent her with the thirty thousand yuan, not leaving a word for her, a burst of sadness overwhelming her heart as if being clenched.

This feeling, she was experiencing for the first time.

Maybe before when she coldly treated those boys, they felt the same way...

Being ignored is really harsh.

Thinking about this, Ge Qin couldn't help but feel her nose sting, her eyes feeling uncomfortable. Quickly, she reached out to wipe them to avoid Li Xiaoxiao noticing again.

As she reached the high-speed rail platform, waiting to board, she felt her phone vibrate a few times.

Silently, she lowered her head, picked up her phone, and opened it. Her eyes gradually widened, the previously sullen face rapidly blossoming into a smile and color visible to the naked eye.

It was a message from Li Jing: "You didn't rest well last night, take a good nap on the high-speed train. Safe travels."

Seeing Li Jing's belated message, Ge Qin's mood instantly lifted from the lows, like a flower blooming towards the morning sun, becoming radiant. She immediately typed and replied: "Alright, you rest well too."

After sending it, she wanted to say a few more words but thought the other party might not converse much with her. Eventually, she erased the half-written message and sent a thank-you emoji.

Only then did Ge Qin scroll up to the previous transaction record from him, clicking to confirm receipt.

Seeing the thirty thousand yuan credited, she held the phone tightly to her chest, taking a deep breath, her eyes bright as she gazed at the zooming high-speed train coming from the sunlit distance. She secretly decided to keep this memory forever in her heart and then return home to start anew in her life.

"Sister Qin, this door!"

Seeing Li Xiaoxiao leading Li Weijun and others toward the nearby car door, Ge Qin quickly waved her hand and replied loudly:

"Okay, I'm coming!"

...

...

Returning from the high-speed rail station to the hotel, Li Jing hadn't received the system's reward yet.

He was certain that the money he gave to Ge Qin wouldn't be rewarded, including any future payments to others. If there aren't significant emotional fluctuations, there might not be any returns.

However, he wasn't bothered about the thirty thousand he gave Ge Qin.

For him now, giving thirty thousand is no different than an ordinary person giving three hundred.

Subsequently, after handling some remaining trivial matters, he returned the three Bentleys and drove his Maserati to a private dining restaurant in the old town.

It was five in the afternoon, the agreed time for his meeting with Zhou Shun yesterday.

Upon arriving at the designated restaurant, Li Jing looked at the old building and exterior decorations and didn't underestimate it because of its appearance.

During this period, he discovered that Celestial Sea City had many upscale private dining establishments hidden in places that were hard to find.

This is precisely why these restaurants often have good privacy.

Li Jing vaguely guessed why Zhou Shun booked this place, seeing a cheongsam-clad greeter quickly approaching him. After stating Zhou Shun's reserved room, he followed her inside.

Passing through several corridors with an antique ambiance, Li Jing saw Zhou Shun had already exited the room to greet him from afar.

"Brother Li, how was your National Day? The yacht I introduced you, pretty nice, huh?" YoursupportonM|V|L8EMPYRkeepsthisseriesgoing.

Looking at Zhou Shun in a formal shirt, Li Jing warmly smiled: "Your friend's yacht was big enough, and my family enjoyed themselves. Thanks, Brother Zhou."

"We're brothers, there's no need for thanks between us."

Zhou Shun led Li Jing into the room, glanced at the faraway waitress, and then leaned close to whisper:

"Brother Li, my friend's surname is Liu. When he arrives later, just call him Captain Liu."

"Captain Liu…"

Li Jing raised his eyebrows, looking at the other without speaking.

Seeing this, Zhou Shun understood his meaning and proactively explained: "He handles city management work, loves working out, and that's why we get along well, friends for more than twenty years."

Once Li Jing stepped into the room, Zhou Shun scanned the doorway, closed the door partially, and entered further, deliberately leaving the main seat empty, saying to Li Jing: "Brother Li, sit next to me.

Actually, my thought is simple for having you here. Captain Liu likes to make friends, and Brother Li, you also want to know more people in Celestial Sea City, so I'm just being a middleman with no other intentions.

If you two hit it off, great. If not, just have a meal together, no harm done."

Li Jing glanced at the room's exquisite decorations, estimating it wouldn't be cheap, evidently Zhou Shun still valued his friend highly.

"Brother Zhou, about the courtyard landscaping you mentioned…"

"That's not urgent. Today let's just get acquainted first."

Soon, there was a gentle knock on the door.

A beautiful waitress opened the door, and a burly middle-aged man in an executive jacket stepped in from outside.

"Captain Liu, haven't seen you at my place for workouts lately?"

It seems Zhou Shun was very familiar with him. Without much small talk, they delved into current affairs.

After a few sentences, Zhou Shun indicated to the adjacent Li Jing and smiled introducing: "Captain Liu, this is President Li, young and promising. Though not a local, he's quite capable."

After a simple handshake with Li Jing, Captain Liu exuded an aura of authority, looking him up and down, nodded subtly.

"Alright, let's all sit."
